The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program with an emphasis in early childhood is designed for applicants who have an interest in working on issues of practice or policy as they relate to early childhood. The MAE is offered in three tracks: an on-campus track focused on early childhood and two asynchronous online tracks. The program does not lead to teacher certification and is not an initial teacher preparation program.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
